So if I wanted to get into Evangelion, where should I start? I know that there are a lot of versions right? Which one would be best to start with?
And also, how come it's not on places like Crunchyroll or Animania?

Kek, I had a good chuckle
JUST WATCH THE SHOW YOU FUCKING RETARD HOW HARD CAN IT BE TO UNDERSTAND AND WHY WOULD YOU MAKE A THREAD HERE WHEN YOU CAN LITERALLY GET THE ANSWER IN LIKE 10 SECONDS BY GOOGLING IT
>>143127318
The objective best order is:
>Tv series episodes 1-26
>End of Evangelion
That's it.
Or if you want to watch it as fast as possible:
>Rebuild 1.0
>Tv series episodes 7-24
>End of Evangelion
How do I get in to this can guys? I know there are lots of version of cans right? Do I need a can opener?
>>143127934
The objective best order is:
>finger placed on top middle of can
>slide under ringpull
>pull
Or if you want to get into it as fast as possible
>use a pickaxe
Dont waste your time with this anime. It's not that great.
Reminder that Neon Genesis Evangelion is just an autistic worse version of Mobile Suit Gundam and Space Runaway Ideon. Anyone who says it is a "deconstruction" has only seen less than 10 other animes, all of which were made after 2000. Everything that Evangelion is known for was done better 15 years earlier by the master Tomino. The only reason Eva became popular is because it pandered more to pervert pedophiles (most anime fans, especially /a/.) Evangelion is the go-to anime for newfag plebs. They say it has "deep" characters but they really only like it because the 14 year olds show a lot of skin. A big difference between Gundam and Eva is that 0079 has one of the best endings in anime history and Evangelion has not one, but two of the worst.
>>143127998
No, the objective best order is:
>Grip can with one hand
>Put thumb under ringpull, index on the opposite side of the top
>Push
weeaboos always try to pretend evangelion is some beautiful work of cinema because they have invested so much time in a genre meant for children and pedophiles.
>>143128072
Hey I really liked There Will Be Blood. Good stuff.
>>143128157
True classic
>>143128072
Are you saying it's bad that there are cute 14 year old girls?
>>143128215
It's pasta
>>143128251
i just wanted to post that
>>143128155
You can watch everything Eva in under a week easily. You'd likely invest more time in your average novel series. It's just 26 episodes and a film brah.
If you want to argue stockholm syndrome then go to a Naruto or One Piece thread.
>>143127318
Start with TV series, 1 - 24 is optimal.
Then EoE, then 25 and 26 TV are up to you if you want to see what you missed (not much).
Might as well watch the Rebuilds too after that, although they don't really matter.
>>143128377
Why would you watch EoE before watching 25 and 26?
I've seen the show btw I just wanna know why you're suggesting that.
>>143127934
I dunno man, opening cans is hard. Especially even you haven't handled one in ages.
>>143128421
Because he's a fucking idiot
>>143128421
Because it ties in better with EoE. You don't actually need to watch 25 and 26 at all.
>>143128552
>You don't actually need to watch 25 and 26 at all.
Rebuild was a mistake. The same goes to Mari, Asuka's random name change and random The Beast mode.
>>143127934
You just eat it like that, what are you a savage?
>>143127318
This is the chronological and best order usually recommended for beginners :
1/Neon Genesis Evangelion : Death & Rebirth
2/Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone
3/ TV series : episodes 01-07 (south pole arc)
4/ Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo
5/ TV series : episodes 08-15 (Lilim arc)
6/ Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance
7/ TV series : episodes 16-26 (complementarity arc)
8/ The End of Evangelion
9/ Evangelion: 4.44
Optional : Puchi Eva. It's best to watch it right after the TV.
>>143128072
Wrong.
Eva is basically the Giant Rob OVA (young coming of age story; tragic event in the past) mixed with Bergman mixed with Ideon.
>>143128377
This. i watched 25 and 26 before watching EoE because I didnt know what was ahead of me. but OP, this guy is not joking. When you watch EoE you will see that those 1:30 hours are actually labelled as Episode 25 and 26.
>>143128828
dont do this
>>143128828
No.. just no. Dont watch anything other than the show + The end of evangelion. The 1.0/2.0/3.0 rebuilds are fucking shit and just repeat what the show already did.
also 4.44 isnt even out
>>143127318
>Crunchyroll
Are you baiting?
Puchi eva has all the important bits in it, just watch it.
1. Original series ep. 1-26
2. End of Evangelion (2-part film, intended to replace ep. 25 and 26)
3. Rebuild of Evangelion 1.11, 2.22, 3.33 (feature-length film remakes of the series with plot changes)
4. Wait for 4 (a.k.a. 3+1) to come out
there you go, I'm not sure why this was so hard for the thread
>>143129537
I haven't watched anime since I had satellite cable. And I don't have any video streaming subscriptions. So I looked up what places are suitable for watching anime and Crunchyroll came up.

Torrenting is a thing, you know.. The quality is better, too.
If you stream your anime, you're missing out on a lot of anime series, especially older ones. I'm not gonna shit on you for streaming like most people, but please realize that torrenting is better for you.
>>143129532
this.
the rebuilds are just not necessary
>>143127318
This >>143128828
And eventually this >>143129555
>>143129728
Alrighty then. I won't stream it then, rather torrent it. I think the last series I watched was Yu Yu Hakusho.
Start with rebuild 1.11 (or watch the boring first six episodes in full if you want w.e. up to you).
Then watch original series ep. 7-24 inclusive
Then the film EoE
Then watch Daicon IV (just because)
Then go back and watch original 25-26
Then watch Gunbuster and Diebuster (again, just because)
Then finally re-watch EoE.
Then don't touch the other re-builds unless you're really bored and want some generic mecha whatever.
Watch it like any show. Original then remakes
>>143128828
this is completely disgusting and confusing
>>143129780
It matches the show then
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKqGw1ODD-E
>>143128586
Anno has changed a lot since the EVA days. He was depressed and nihilistic back then, he's rich, married and happy now. I think inspiration is gone for good.
That's why the rebuild sucks as well.
>>143128072
I love this copy pasta.
>>143128828
he can also skip the series if he gets it the first time with Death and Rebirth.
I don't know about everyone, but I was able to appreciate eps. 25-26 after EoE.
I feel like I wouldn't be able to if I had watched it the other way around.
>>143128072
But having the cute 14yo chicks and pandering to pedophiles PLUS having giant robot fights and symbolism was the very combination that made the show so popular.
You can get either of those separately in hundreds of other shows, but the two combined? It made the series complete, with both the action and the SoL.
>>143129767
>boring
>>143129976
this is the most idiotic comment ive read all month
>>143127318
This is bait, right?
>Ctrl-F "lurk"
Jesus, /a/ is dead.
>>143130369
Unfortunately, Ctrl-F doesn't work with sarcastic posts yet.
>>143127318
Watch the 1995 show and
> replace 01-07 with 1.0 (not the modified version 1.11)
> replace 21-24 with the director's cut "Renewal of Evangelion" from the the original LD release or DVD Platinium release
http://wiki.evageeks.org/Director's_Cut_Episodes
> Replace 25-26 with End of Eva (basically 25' and 26')
>>143127318
Anyone who recommends skipping episode 25 and 26, never really understood the series. They were just in for the giant robots going pow-pow and the teenage girls in body-hugging plugsuits.
>>143130726
Wrong
>>143130369
Internet is dead.
>>143130748
A compelling argument, for sure. However, if you deign trying to elaborate maybe we can have a real discourse here.
>>143127349
Tafazzi as Shinji
Teocoli as Gendo
I Bulgari as the Magi
Simona Ventura as Misato
Mosca as PenPen
>>143130804
>A compelling argument
KEK says the guy claiming that people who suggest to skip 25 26 didnt understand the show. Holy fuck. is this guy for real
>>143127349
>>143130832
Perché esiste ancora questa cosa?
>>143130845
No, no, ad hominem is still not a good argument to support your position. C'mon anon, I know you can do better.
>>143130911
dont even bother trying to put yourself into a position in which you can look down on me pretending that you are the one who did right and im the one who did wrong. and dont even pretend to come off as smart just because you memorized one of the shitty elements of that shitty argument pyramid. Yeah thats right. I know where you get that "ad hominem" shit from. what you did right there was repeating what someone else said before, without thinking about it even once.
youre pretty much this guy for me at this point https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymsHLkB8u3s
>>143130789
truly. >>143131009
>>143131009
you posted the wrong pyramid
>>143131009
Alright, so let's recap. I made a clear statement. You answered with the word "wrong". I proposed that you could elaborate your argument. You mocked me. Who did right and who did wrong again?
>>143131107
>I made a clear statement.
Yeah we can all make statements but what good does it do when you dont give any facts. look up "burden of proof" before you blab some shit out
>>143131085
Sorry to say, but I asked first. Besides, there's really little point to do so when you just made clear that you are hostile in a prejudicial way to whatever my argument is.
You may not believe this, but I was being honest when I invited discourse. Had you answered with at least a little elaboration of why you believed I was wrong, I'd gladly have exposed my cause and go back and forth.
>>143131107
>>143131214
Actually, none of you posted an argument. This >>143130726 is an explanatory passage.
>Anyone who recommends skipping episode 25 and 26, never really understood the series.
This is an explanandum.
>They were just in for the giant robots going pow-pow and the teenage girls in body-hugging plugsuits.
This is an explanans.
This >>143130748 is a proposition.
An argument is a group of statements, one or more of which is intended to provide support for one of the others.
>>143131297
And a collection of ad hominem is any better while you yourself avoid to answer? How am I supposed to respond? "oh no, meanie guy is implying that I don't actually possess an argument! I better show him that I do!"?
You keep attacking me for some reason. Do you usually feel threatened whenever someone spouses a position that you disagree with? Do you hate those episodes with such vehemence that it allows you to cast prejudice and hatred over people that praise them?
>>143131284
Haha you got me there. Good one.
>>143127318
Watch the Rebuilds up to 3.33 then read the manga to get the conclusion. That's all you need.
Can someone legitimately tell me the point of Episodes 25 and 26
They are clearly thrown together.
>>143131557
So now you are a separate person? How am I supposed to know one for another? If you are not the person I was originally arguing with, why are you /demanding/ things from me, especially with such hostility? If you are not the original arguer then you have dragged me into your own fight and I'm not interested, feel free to "win" or whatever you need.
>>143131721
>>143131721
They are definitely "thrown together" as result of heavy budget cuts. That doesn't mean that there is not point or purpose for them. I argue that forced to drop the conceit of the apocalyptic half-human robots, the writers boarded directly the psychological and metaphysical themes that are both underlying to the story and the whole point of it being told.
>>143131721
They're just too deep for you.
>>143127834
as fast as possible would be death/rebirth+EoE
>>143131966
Or simply the manga if he's a fast reader
